Little Simz - NO THANK YOU - FIRST REACTION

[@nateallen8639]

A Simz JID collab would be immaculate

[@chrismalinowski654]

In general we need more UK/US rap crossovers bro. Santan Dave should be doing american features too

[@cheezly575]

JID follows her on ig 👀

[@Learnean]

Ghetts and JID would be crazy. They got the most unique flows in the us/uk respectively

[@boat5361]

That would be insaneeeee

[@barry4649]

@@chrismalinowski654Dave was working with JID like two years ago too. I’d say Dave will definitely get big US features on his next album and be on some US rap albums soon because of who he hangs around with now, he was at Jay Z’s Roc Nation Grammy party the other day too

[@thelucasshow4970]

This album is near perfect feels like a deep dive into her mental in the last year

[@HectorTWE]

The writing on this album is incredible. Heavy rap can often get exhausting to listen to but her flows and voice are so smooth and the confidence so palpable that the songs just breeze through. It's sonically stripped back compared to SIMBI but I think her rapping here might be even better than it was on SIMBI. Great album!

Your reactions are always on point. Simz is probably my favorite female rapper today. "Silhouette" is easily one of my favorite songs of this year. This album is such a vibe.

[@barry4649]

Simz herself retweeted some praise I said of her yesterday and that made my day, she’s just a complete underground legend

[@sarah-anneperry6932]

Her writing, her flows, are on kendrick's level

[@NaawG]

She’s great but not close to Kendrick

[@soyauby]

@@NaawG But.. she IS, they are both on a leage on their own, the thing is K is very veeeery different toward his storytelling, and lets not forget she is an independent artist, the money involving all the production in any project shapes it all... but her words, her impecable flow, her elocuent way to speak of her life and still make you feel it speak to your own, its magnifique!

[@irons6229]

[@chrismalinowski654]

Her album from last year, “Sometimes I Might Be Introvert” may be the best rap album to come out since TPAB tbh. At least best rap album of the 2020s so far. Enjoy!!

[@94Eloise]

Broken is one of the dopest rap songs I have ever heard.

[@Ash-fz9po]

Broken honestly touched so many nerves in me I cried. Beautiful track!

[@kat19805]

As a proud Brit, I have to agree - the artistry of Simz is perfection in every area of what she does. For this reason, she’s not only potentially our best rapper, but one of our best musicians, period 🔥🔥🔥

[@BsideArchive]

Insane how far she's come. Been a fan since 2014 and she's only gotten better and better

[@soyauby]

This album is God-like. I felt she put into words certiain things and processes Ive been living, I ALWAYS say this and will continue to do so: SIMZ IS FEMENINE POWER. "Sillhouette" WTF WAS THAT!? "Broken" is just unbelievable. The bars she puts into the word do not only speak of her own great mind and soul, but she preaches to women in general. I LOVE HER, ahd this album is just 10/10... the first listen was enough for me to say its an impecable work. PS: I DO believe this is the best rap album lyrically out of 2022. Steppers is superb, but at least to me as a 28 woman, hit harder.

If we’re being honest, Simz and Dave are already creeping up on the Kendrick’s of the rap world. I have both above J Cole already, and musically Simz is probably the best musically of anyone right now

[@nirvansircar2823]

Dave is great and I shouldn’t pit them against each other BUT Simz clears and washes Dave. She is the best in the UK (other than Kano)
